Does the Chinese state control their media or does the party do it directly? Because NPR is strongly affiliated with the ruling party in the United States.

I know China requires Communist party committees within most large businesses. It would surprise me if this is not also the case for their news media. Note that these aren't affiliations, but actual political organizations within the businesses.

The Republicans control the house. The US is not a land of political "rulers", at least not at the moment (arguments can be made for FDR's presidency).
